>Things get more interesting in the second half, where Josh examines several of Deadfire's more controversial features, throwing his bosses under the bus a couple of times in the process. These include the five character party (no regrets), the companion relationship system (an overambitious failure), the ship-to-ship combat system (a disaster that was actually cut from the game and then forced back into it as a stretch goal by Obsidian management) and full voice acting (also imposed by management, resulting in what Josh describes as the most stressful period of his entire career).
>That's not to say that the entire talk is about blaming other people. Josh admits that he failed as lead narrative designer, creating a story that couldn't decide whether it was about factions or gods. He admits that he failed to realize that turn-based RPGs were now more popular than real-time-with-pause, and that he didn't take complaints about the game's low difficulty seriously enough during the backer beta. Ultimately, Josh concludes that in the future he should work on a different kind of RPG.
Huh, it was bad but this text is somewhat hyperbolic, why is- >RpgCodex
AH. That's why.

>and full voice acting (also imposed by management, resulting in what Josh describes as the most stressful period of his entire career). I love Sawyer but jesus dude, the reason your games can suck is because you write too much. At least voice acting keeps you grounded.
Sebastian Rodriguez
well at least he admits that the narrative was a mess
Henry Stewart
But he still found a way to blame others
Ethan Moore
>Still won't admit it was the gay fish's fault that the game flopped
Half your post is him admitting he fucked up you dopey fuck
Joshua Cruz
Gay fish is too irrelevant and goofy for anyone outside of Yea Forums to be upset about
Liam Carter
The interparty relationships were not a failure
Ayden Bennett
Prepare to see this thread about 100 more times over the next few weeks, Yea Forums.

Being too ambitious is not a failure
Christopher Walker
Yea Forums is filled with garbage anyway. Like, one third of threads are about Nintendo in some way. I'll gladly take threads shitting on poe any time of day.
Colton Martinez
Why doesn’t he just transition already? She’s already halfway there.
Julian Diaz
Of course it's a failure you cocomo drinking dipshit. It's a gross inability to understand what you can do with the resources you have, or an inability to execute competently.
Asher Robinson
Why is it so easy to tell when a thread is made by the discord hit squad? I don't even like obsidian anymore but these weirdos are so fucking creepy about their hatred.
Jacob Stewart
Then get more resources What kind of a dickless person you are if you just scale down the vision instead Flawed gems are more precious than polished stones
James Morris
Why the fuck do you keep posting this Get the fuck over it
Brandon Powell
I agree in a way, but POE2 is neither a flawed gem or a polished stone
Lucas Ortiz
Do you think impossible that some Yea Forums posters actually grew to hate poe because poe people spammed their peaceful divinity threads?
